“Saved by the Bell” is getting rebooted for NBCUniversal’s new streaming service, Peacock.
According to EOnline, some of your favorite original cast members, including Elizabeth Berkley and Mario Lopez will be back for the new episodes. “30 Rock” and “The Mindy Project” writer Tracey Wigfield, will take on the revamp for the network.
The revival will find the California governor Zack Morris in trouble for closing multiple low-income high schools. He then suggests sending the affected students to the highest-performing schools in the state, including Bayside High. From there, the influx of new students “gives the overprivileged Bayside kids a much-needed and hilarious dose of reality,” the publication read.
Despite Zack’s presence in the show’s description, there’s still no word on the potential return of his original character played by Mark-Paul Gosselaar.
Saved by the Bell originally aired on NBC from 1989 to 1993, focusing on a group of friends as they navigated life at Bayside. The cast included Gosselaar, Berkley (as Jessie Spano), Lopez (as A.C Slater), Tiffani Thiessen (as Kelly Kapowski), Lark Voorhies (as Lisa Turtle), Dustin Diamond (as Screech) and Dennis Haskins (as principal Mr. Belding).
The show spawned two spinoffs, “Saved by the Bell: The College Years” and “Saved by the Bell: The New Class,” as well as two TV movies, according to the report.
Saved by the Bell‘s return will be part of a library at NBCUniversal’s streamer, along with a Battlestar Galactica and Punky Brewster reboot.
Peacock is set to launch April 2020, as of yet, there’s no price for the streaming service.
